Agree with zamu. I haven't seen any problem with emagged borg on RP making round more chaotic. Most of the time emagged borg on RP do... mostly nothing? And I have seen what rogue borgs are capable of and when it comes to emag borgs doing antag stuff on RP, it seems rare, probably only one-two person who do it hard. Also, on classic, you don't even need an emag to make silicon "antagonist", because it's still easy to just bomb the lawrack/mess with the AI law, 0 TC needed. Even on RP, most of the chaotic rogue robot rounds I see usually came from someone/ion law messing up the lawrack, emag borgs mostly do nothing.
If the problem is that someone keep emagging borgs as quickly as possible on RP, as in they just want to speedrun emagging cyborg without no RP behind it, it seems like an ahelp problem, rather than an item issue. I also don't see how emagging borgs is different than cyborg converter in term of escalation. I have seen worst came from a round with one silicon in syndie frame rather than rounds where people are trying to emag more borgs.
Addition, syndicate frame and syndicate borg converter unlike EMAG give you a loyal to syndie only silicon but also allow you to find other syndie. Antagonists who works together is a nightmare for the crew. It makes sense for it to cost more and harder to get. You can force a syndie borg to take all the cargo budget into your bank account which can mess with the round more, but emagged borgs? Not all are convinced to do it.
